Pak Nasheman: best Paki for your buck



It is in a predominantly russian neighborhood but still. One of my favorite places ever.

This is a really great neighborhood Pakistani place. On the outskirts of a predominantly Russian neighborhood, this place caters to the local scattered Pakistani population, and that is who you will find dining here at all hours (it is amazing how strangely inviting this place gets after-hours).
We eat here almost every week. After experimenting in a bunch of places in the city, we always come back to this one. The vegetable dishes are amazing. You can get a mixed vegetable plate over rice for $6-$8. You can get a mix of peas and potatoes, lentils, chickpeas, okra. Everything tastes very strong and spicy and you can wash it all down with a mango lassi. The curry chicken has bits of cardamon and ginger in it as well. They have a large selection of desserts. I always get
the milk balls or rice pudding.
